There will always be a required dose for a desired outcome. For example, all prescription drugs are designed with specific doses to achieve intended effects on the body. An exercise program will be required to be able to achieve the fitness levels wanted. There are many other instances, but it is important to know that for a desired effect, there must be a dose required. The same is applied in the world of Chiropractic and holistic wellness possibilities at HomeTown Family Chiropractic in Coeur d'Alene ID.

It takes at least 90 days to change physiology in a healthy individual. These physiological changes happen in both the brain and the tissues of the body. When a vertebral subluxation is reduced, the brain requires both time and repetition for improvement in health. Logically, not a single person would assume going to the gym once or taking just one blood pressure medication would change the course of their health for the remainder of their life. Why would one believe that just one adjustment could “fix” their poor health and functional deficits? This is a massive misunderstanding. It bears repeating, in a healthy person (no traumas, no co-morbidities, low stress levels), it takes a minimum of 90 days to change the physiology of the body and how it operates. Furthermore, one of the largest studies done in Chiropractic research was the HASS study. They studied the dose response for adjustments and how quickly the body could make lasting changes. They found that 50% of HEALTHY people were 50% better in 12 visits. That’s a testament to how the body needs time to adapt to the changes being made. To be a “fast responder” to chiropractic care, more care in the beginning might be required if recommended by your doctor.

Your “dose” of Chiropractic in this office is always conservative and in coordination with the research. Through a detailed history of your health as well as neurological scans and X-ray analysis, we can begin to custom tailor a plan to create you into a fast responder towards health. The miracles of chiropractic care are most often seen in wellness care, following your initial few months of corrective care. Because the body has had at least 90 days to improve how it functions, the nerve system is healthier resulting in fantastic, unexpected health miracles. Chiropractic is unequivocally safer, more clinically effective, and more cost effective than drugs, pills, and surgery. “Premiums small, dividends large” with a healthy nerve system.
